The Lines of Engagement

Center, Engage, Connect

Come and play Saturday at the dojo in a safe, light-hearted atmosphere of lively, sensory learning. Based on the movements of Aikido, explore the lines of engagement:

Investigate the moment when you encounter your partner.

Sense your center.

Experiment with where and when you make initial contact.

Discover how you change the angle of encounter.

Sense your balance.

Follow the trajectory of your partner’s motion.

Notice when you naturally take a step to restore balance.

No experience required. You do not have to fall down if you don’t want to. This class is taught by Suzane Van Amburgh, GCFP and shidoin aikido instructor Free to Multnomah Aikikai Members (Regular and Community members). Open to the public for drop in fee of $10.
